Part 1: Establish Connectivity to TFTP Server
Part 2: Transfer the Configuration File from TFTP Server
Part 3: Backup Configuration and IOS to TFTP Server
Background / Scenario
In this activity you will restore a configuration from a backup and then perform a new backup. Due to an equipment failure, a new router has been put in place. Fortunately, backup configuration files have been saved to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Server. You are required to restore the files from the TFTP Server to get the router back online as quickly as possible.
Instructions
Part 1:Establish Connectivity to the TFTP Server
Note: Because this is a new router, the initial configuration will be performed using a console connection to the router.
- Click PCA, then the Desktop tab, followed by Terminal to access the RTA command line.
- Configure and activate the Gigabit Ethernet 0/0 interface. The IP address should match the default gateway for the TFTP Server.
Router(config)# interface g0/0
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# no shut
- Test connectivity to TFTP Server. Troubleshoot, if necessary.
Part 2:Transfer the Configuration File from the TFTP Server
- From privileged EXEC mode, issue the following command:
Router# copy tftp running-config
Address or name of remote host []? 172.16.1.2
Source filename []? RTA-confg
Destination filename [running-config]? <cr>
The router should return the following:
Accessing tftp://172.16.1.2/RTA-confg…
Loading RTA-confg from 172.16.1.2: !
[OK – 785 bytes]
785 bytes copied in 0.001 secs
RTA#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
RTA#
- Issue the command to display the current configuration.
Question:
What changes were made?
Type your answers here.
The configuration stored on the TFTP Server was loaded into the router and the hostname of the router changed to RTA.
- Issue the appropriate show command to display the interface status.
Question:
Are all interfaces active?
Type your answers here.
No, G0/1 is administratively down.
- Correct any issues related to interface problems and test connectivity between PCA and the TFTP server.
Part 3:Back Up Configuration and IOS to TFTP Server
- Change the hostname of RTA to RTA-1.
- Save the configuration to NVRAM.
- Copy the configuration to the TFTP Server using the copy command:
RTA-1# copy running-config tftp:
Address or name of remote host []? 172.16.1.2
Destination filename [RTA-1-confg]? <cr>
- Issue the command to display the files in flash.
- Backup the IOS in flash to the TFTP Server using the following command:
RTA-1# copy flash tftp:
Source filename []? c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin
Address or name of remote host []? 172.16.1.2
Destination filename [c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin]? <cr>
Question:
What special character repeatedly displays indicating that the IOS file is being copied to the TFTP server successfully?
Type your answers here.
The exclamation point !.
- Open the TFTP Server and click the Services tab, select TFTP, and scroll through the list of IOS files.
Question:
Has the IOS file c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin been copied to the TFTP Server?
Type your answers here.
Yes, the c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M4.bin file is listed in the files on the TFP server.
